Back in October of 2012, Zynga unexpectedly closed down one of their studios in Boston, MA. Several of the leads from that team have came together to start a new studio, Proletariat Inc. They have recently released their first title, a new arcade take on word find games with a castle defense twist, called Letter Rush.

Features:

Engaging single-player gameplay! Drawn into a world of words and a land of letters, it’s your job to swipe the oncoming word waves away before they bear down on you and destroy your precious walls.

Leaderboards — Rush to the top of the leaderboards every week! Prove your worth in full view of all of your Game Center and Facebook friends and let them know who’s really #1 (at least until the leaderboards reset and they come after you)!

Powerups — Unlike real life, in Letter Rush, you can augment your abilities with six different powerups to unleash your true might and put those words in their place.

Goals — Make your way through 20 levels and more than 50 goals to unlock powerups, multipliers, gems, and more! Don’t let these goals go unfinished; crush them with your word-finding prowess!

Co-operative Multiplayer — When one set of fingers just isn’t enough, team up with a friend to rule the leaderboards together in all your 20-fingered glory!

Head-to-head Multiplayer — Settle disputes the wordy way and go head-to-head versus a friend in a battle to the (word) death! There’s no powerups and no pausing, just you, your friend, and whole bunch of letters and words.
